Krasnodar’s controversial church project divides residents and officials

Krasnodar authorities have unveiled plans for a new church construction project, sparking both support and opposition among residents. The project, set between Рождественская Набережная and the Kuban River, includes a temple complex, pedestrian streets, and greening. It's now open for public discussion.

The project, revealed in leaked sketches, spans over 4300 square meters, incorporating a Sunday school. Residents initially opposed the plan, fearing the loss of a green zone, and collected signatures against it. However, recent developments show growing support, with the governor of Kuban, Veniamin Ivanovich Kondratyev, and the mayor of Krasnodar backing the project.

Public discussions are ongoing, with exhibitions held on Tuesdays and Thursdays at two locations in Krasnodar. Residents have held single pickets and recorded appeals, expressing their views. Proposals and comments can be submitted via email to [email protected].

The future of the church construction project in Krasnodar remains uncertain, with residents' opinions divided. Further public discussions and input will help shape the final decision. The project, if approved, promises to transform the area with new infrastructure and greenery.
